Qığeepç'iy 2
1 Leviyne nasılıkene sa cühüt'ee, cune nasıleençe cusda xhunaşşe hee'e.
(There was a man who/My father) was descended from [Jacob’s son] Levi. He married a woman who was [also] descended from Levi.
2 Mana vuxhne ayxu mang'us dix uxu. Uşax micagda g'acu, məng'ee man uşax xheyible vazna dyugul ha'a.
She became pregnant and gave birth to (a baby boy/me). When she saw that he/I was a good-looking baby, she hid him/me for three months, [because she was not willing to do what the king commanded].
3 Mançile hexxada dyugul ha'as dəxəmee, məng'ee q'amışeke hav'una ç'emç'e alyapt'ı, çilqa g'ır qadğu, uşaxıd caqa gixhxhı Niline mıglek alyadıyne q'amışeeqa giyxhe.
When she was unable to (hide him/me/keep it a secret) any longer, she got a basket made from tall reeds. She covered the basket with tar ([to make it waterproof/so water could not get in]). Then she put him/me in the basket and put the basket in [the water] in the middle of the tall grass at the edge of the Nile [River].
4 Uşaxık hucooyiy ixhesva ileeka, uşaxna yuçu sik'irra şaqana ileezar.
His/My older sister was standing not far away, [watching to see] what would happen to him/me.
5 Fironna yiş əyeexərasva damaysqa geeç'e, cen guluxçerıb damayne mıglek ı'ğviykar vooxhe. Məng'ı'k'le q'amışee ç'emç'e g'ooce. Mana alyapt'as cena guluxçiy g'ıxeele.
[Soon] the king’s daughter went down to the river to bathe. Her female servants were walking along the riverbank. She saw the basket amid the tall grass [in the river]. So she sent [one of] her servants to get it.
6 Ç'emç'eyn ghal ulyot'ulmee məng'ı'k'lee maa uşax gece. Gade geşşe g'acuys, məng'ı'na rəhı'm qabı eyhen: – İn cühüt'yaaşin uşaxıd.
When [the servant brought the basket to her], she opened it, and was surprised to see (a baby that was/me), crying. She felt sorry for him/me, and said, “This [must] be one of the Hebrews’ babies.”
7 Manke uşaxne yuçee fironne yişşeke qiyghanan: – Yiğnemee hark'ın mana gyoqa'asda cühüt'yaaşina sa zəiyfa ayrene?
Then (the baby’s/my) [older] sister [approached] the king’s daughter and said, “Do you want me to go and find someone from among the Hebrew women who will [be able to] nurse the baby for you?”
8 Fironne yişşee məng'ı'k'le «Hiyek'neva» eyhe. Yuçee hark'ın uşaxna yed ayreele.
The king’s daughter said to her, “[Yes], go [and find one].” So the girl went and summoned (the baby’s/my) mother.
9 Fironne yişşee məng'ı'k'le eyhen: – İn uşax alyat'u yizdemee gyoqe'e. Mançil-alla zı vas hək' qevles. Zəiyfee uşax alyaat'u cene xaa gyoqa'an.
The king’s daughter said to her, “[Please] take this baby and nurse him for me. I will pay you [for doing that].” So (the woman/my mother) took him/me and nursed him/me.
10 Uşax xət qıxhamee, məng'ee mana qıkkekana fironne yişşesqa. Fironne yişşee mana dixvalis alyarat'a. Məng'ee uşaxın do Mısa (qığavhuna) gixhxhı eyhen: – Zı mana xhinençe qığavhu.
([A few years later]/when (the child/I) grew [older]), she brought him/me to the king’s daughter. She adopted him/me [as though I was] her own son. She named him/me Moses, [which sounds like the Hebrew words ‘pull out’], because she said “I pulled him out of the water.”
11 Mısa xər qıxha cune xınıbışisqa hark'ınmee, mang'uk'le, cune milletın nimee yı'q'na işiy haa'ava g'ecen. Mang'uk'le maa'ar, cuna xını cühüt misirğançeng'vee geta g'ece.
One day, after Moses/I had grown up, he/I went out [of the palace area] to see his/my people, [the Hebrews]. He/I saw how they were being [forced to work] very hard. He/I [also] saw an Egyptian [man] beating one of his/my Hebrew people.
12 Hiqiy-alla ilyakkı vuşucar g'idecumee, Mısee mana misirğançena gik'u g'umeeqa dyugulya'a.
He/I looked around [to see if anyone was watching]. Seeing no one, he/I killed the Egyptian man and buried his [body] in the sand.
13 Qinne yiğıl mang'uk'le q'öyre sana-sang'uka aldaxhvanan cühüt'yar g'ooce. Mang'vee getang'uke qiyghanan: – Nya'a ğu yiğne milletna insan geta?
The next day he/I returned [to the same place]. He/I was surprised to see two Hebrew men who were fighting [each other]. He/I said to the man who started the fight, “Why are you (you should not be) striking your fellow [Hebrew].”
14 Mane insanee eyhen: – Şavaane vake yişda xərnayiy şas məhkama ha'ana hı'ı? Şena misirğançena gik'uyn xhinne, deşxhee, vas zınarne gik'as ıkkan? Mısa qərq'ı'n culed-alqa eyhen: – Mıts'an, zı hı'iyn ats'axhxha ixhes.
The man replied, “(Who made you our ruler and judge?/No one made you our ruler and judge!) [RHQ] [You have no right to interfere with us] Are you going to kill me just like you killed that Egyptian man [yesterday]?” Then Moses/I was afraid, [because] he/I thought, “[Since that man knows what I did], surely [other people] know, [too].”
15 Fironuk'le Mısee hı'iyn g'ayxhımee mana gik'as ıkkiykan. Mısa fironuke hixu, Midyan eyhene ölkeeqa qarı sa kahrızne k'ane axva.
[And that was correct]. The king heard about what he/I had done [to that Egyptian. So he ordered his soldiers to] execute/kill Moses/me. But he/I fled from the king [and left Egypt. He/I traveled east to] the Midian [region] and started to live there.
16 Yiğbışde sa yiğıl Midyanaaşine kaahinna yighıyre yiş dekkıne vəq'əbışis xhyan helesva maqa abayle. Manbışe kahrızeençe xhyan alqı'ı nəybı (axurbı) gyats'a'a eyxhe.
The man who was the (priest/one who offered the people’s gifts to God) for the Midian people, [whose name was Jethro], had seven daughters. [One day] as Moses/I sat down beside a well, those girls came [to the well] and got water, and filled the troughs in order to give water to their father’s flock [of sheep].
17 Maqa qabıyne çobanaaşis içer g'eheebşes vukkiykan. Mısayk'le man g'acu, içeeşineme vuç ögeeqa huvu manbışin vəq'əbı xhinen ats'ya'anbı.
Some (shepherds/men who took care of other sheep) came and started to chase away the girls. But Moses/I helped/rescued the girls, and got water for their sheep.
18 İçer cone dekkısqa Reuelisqa sapk'ılmee, mang'vee qiyghanan: – Nya'a şu g'iyna zaraba sapk'ıl?
When the girls returned to their father [Jethro], [whose other name is] Reuel, he asked them, “How is it that you were able to [give water to the sheep and] come home so quickly today?”
19 Manbışe eyhen: – Misirğançene sang'vee yişdemee vuc ögiylqa huvu, şi çobanaaşine xılençe g'attivxhan hav'u. Qiyğa mang'vee yişdemee yişin vəq'əbı ats'esın xhyan kahrızeençe alqı'ı.
They replied, “A man from Egypt kept [MTY] other shepherds from sending us away. He also got water for us [from the well] and gave water to the flock [of sheep].”
20 Mang'vee yişşaaşike qiyghanan: – Mana insan nyaane vor? Nya'a şu mana g'alerçu? Qot'le, arı şakasana kar oxhnecen.
He said to his daughters, “Where is he? (Why did you leave him [out there]?/You should not leave him [out there]!) [RHQ] Invite him [in], so he can have something to eat [MTY]!”
21 Manbışer Mısa cong'ə qoyt'alna. Dekke eyhen: – Mısa, şing'əəcar axve. Mısaysır ıkkiykanna manbışəəng'ə axvas. Sabara gah ılğevç'uyle qiyğa, mang'veeyir Mısays cuna yiş Tsippora xhunaşşe yixhecenva heele.
[So they did], and Moses/I [accepted and ate with them]. And Moses/I decided to live there. Later Jethro gave him/me his daughter Zipporah [to be his/my wife].
22 Məng'ee Mısays dix uxu. Mısee eyhen: – Zı menne cigeençe qarına xhinne axva vor Mançil-alla mang'vee duxayn do Gerşom (menne cigayna) giyxhe.
Later she gave birth to a son, and Moses/I named him Gershom, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘foreigner’], because he/I said, “I am living as a foreigner in [this] land.”
23 Ooğançe geed senbı ılğeeç'uyle qiyğa Misirna paççah qek'ana. İzrailybışe nukariyvalee uts'ur ts'ıts'a'a, kumag heqqa eyxhe. Manbışe ts'ıts'a'an nukariyvaleedın uts'ur Allahık'le g'eceniy vod.
Many years later the king of Egypt died. The Israeli people [in Egypt] were still groaning because of the [hard work they had to do as] slaves. They called out for [someone to] help them, and God heard them call out [PRS].
24 Allah manbışe ts'ıts'a'ane uts'uruqa ilyakka-ilyakka İbrahimıka, I'saq'ıka, Yaaq'ubuka hav'una mugaavile yik'el qavalyaa'a.
He heard them groaning. And he (thought about/did not forget) that he had solemnly promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob [to bless their descendants].
25 Allahık'le İzrailybı nukarar vuxhay g'acu manbışilqa rəhı'm qavayle.
God saw how the Israeli people were [being badly treated], and he was concerned about them.
